BROOKFIELD -- The Board of Ethics opted this week to incorporate a second ethics complaint against a new Board of Education member into a hearing scheduled for Thursday.

The complaints were made against Gregory Beck, 26, who is also a town emergency services dispatcher, for his Facebook comment related to the anniversary of the Sandy Hook School shooting tragedy.

Alice Carolan, chairman of the Ethics Board, confirmed the hearing for Beck will incorporate two complaints -- an initial one made by Sherri Keefe last month and a second one recently filed by Nancy Lincoln.

The board took no action on a third pending complaint, the contents of which remain secret. Some residents, however, think it involves ethics charges against First Selectman Bill Tinsley.

Carolan said the three-member board was missing a quorum earlier this week, so the third complaint may be considered later.

Soon after his election to the school board, but before he was sworn into office, Beck commented on a 26 Acts of Kindness Facebook page that he would provide "a box of ammunition'' to his gun owner friends each of the 26 days leading up to the Dec. 14 first anniversary of the Newtown shootings.

In the latest complaint against Beck, Lincoln contended his lack of judgment and insensitivity are of grave concern and warrant his immediate resignation.

At Beck's first two board meetings, no fewer than 20 people asked for him to step aside.

Five members of the Board of Education individually asked Beck to resign, as did the Republican Town Committee right after his posting was made public.

Beck issued a public apology but has declined to step down, saying he was the favored candidate in the election. A member of A Brookfield Party, he defeated Democrat Ray DiStephan, the former board chairman, by more than 450 votes.

"I have no comment at this time,'' Beck said when contacted about the latest complaint.

The hearing is scheduled for Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in Room 135 of the Municipal Center, 100 Pocono Road.

"The children of our schools have to abide by social media policies. Do we not have our board members adhere to the same?" Lincoln asked in her complaint.

"I am asking that Mr. Beck be required to resign. Regardless of `winning the vote,' he clearly lacks both the judgment and character we expect from each of our Board of Education members," Lincoln wrote.
